Is Pataki trying to speak like Reagan?

[feistydem]

Sure sounds like he's trying to mimic "The Gipper's" speech style to me. What a maroon! as Bugs would say.

1. That what happens to his voice

when he's trying to feel what he's saying

[feistydem]

9. Ooooooh here comes Shrubby now!

How many times will HE slam Kerry? I think Kerry's name has been mentioned more during the RNC that it was during the DNC.

2. Possibly

But Pataki is a complete bonehead, so it's possible that his idiocy could be confused with Reagan's senility.

3. Comes off like

Miss Nancy

5. Sounds like Clint Eastwood...

weird...

[madmax]

8. or trying to. And thanks..yes

he's trying to imitate Clint, LOL.

14. Nah, Eastwood talks like he's got a pair

With that breathy stage whisper Pataki sounds more like the teacher from Beavis & Butthead Do America who sings "Lesbian Seagull" (Mr. Van Dreesen?)

[madmax]

4. I noticed this too ...it's so freaking weird.

Did you hear him say - "and george w. bush is no ordinary leader". It was a strange whisper growl or something.

[madmax]

6. Peggy Noonan wrote the speech I wonder if she coached

him on how to deliver it. Awful!

[feistydem]

12. Makes sense. She's desperate for another Reagan.

Where's her smirky face been lately anyway?

[TheWebHead]

7. whismirk

whisper-smirk for Pataki, no criticism from CNN though yet... shock :)

[kentuck]

10. How could NY elect such a dud ??

He looks like such a wimpy dishrag..

[soothsayer]

11. Reagan told the US soothing lullabies and bedtime stories. Pataki

sounds like an simpleton trying to read My Pet Goat to kindergartners. Of course, it could make bush look less like a simpleton...!

13. 1st term or 2nd term?

Hard to capture that 2nd term spirit without Nancy there hissing her help with the answers.." Tell them we're doing the best we can."
